The Challenge of Reformission
|
This is probably the most challeging Christian book I have read for a few years and summonses us to change our thinking on mission; if you're sitting there thinking the church is rapidly heading for oblivion then this book is for you! Mark tells us that today's mission field starts on our doorstep; he describes 'Reformission' as a radical call for Christians and Christian churches to recommit to living and speaking the gospel, and to resist the pressure to compromise its truth.
Mark is founding pastor of Mars Hill Church in Seattle and well known to many more through his travelling and his podcasts. He challenges us to repent of our self-righteousness and to get on with the task of the great commission.
Mark writes intelligently, using clear conceptual models and drawing from research to support his material and yet, his message is clearly inspired and annointed, extremely readable, very blunt, provocative and will surely challenge his readers into action!
Each section ends with a set of reformission questions which makes the book ideal for house groups, and should enable them to transfer from Mark's experience of Seattle in to their own particular cultures where-ever they may be.
